ATLANTA – Aaron Nesmith's hands went to his head in shock as soon as he saw Pascal Siakam take off. By the time Siakam dunked and then turned around to look back, the other three Pacers on the floor also all picked their hands up in a manner that seemed to ask, "What are you doing?"
Now, Mathurin is on the injury report again ahead of a rematch with the Hawks. Unfortunately for the Pacers so is Aaron Nesmith. With both small forwards on the injury report, the Pacers are in danger of having to start Jarace Walker for the second straight game. He started on Thursday night, as well.
The double-double was his second of the season, and they both came during a set of back-to-back games in Atlanta. Nembhard has produced double-digit dimes three times in the last five games, a stretch in which he's averaging 10.
Nesmith was expected to suit up given his probable tag, and now that he has the green light, he should handle his regular workload in this matchup. Nesmith is averaging 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks per game across his last 10 contests since returning to the starting lineup on Feb. 11.
